Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-lvm@redhat.com Hi ! I plan to improve security on my system by setting up mirror on my Fedora Core 6 install (Kernel 2.6.18-XXX) X86-64 platform. Ive the main vg used for /, /usr/var, etccc for which I would like to use mirorring. For now it uses only one PV residing on a 55 GB hda partition. I will add a 55 GB partiton on hdb to hold the second copy of the mirror, and another partiton on sda (SATA disk) to hold the logs. Question : How big should be this partition ? Does it nedd to be 55GB ? Could it be smaller ? Way smaller ? Thanks a lot for yoor help ! Regards --
